looks a bit like #dstat, which is in most #linux distributions?

What about the source code, which seems to be the main criticism of wallet scrutiny?
Also you need to get your caps lock key checked.

so there should be plenty convincing rebukes by now I assume? care to share a link?

Is there any script that parses my #CLN log and tells me how much I've lost on fees over the years? I can easily sum up my collected routing fees, but those sats spent on rebalancing, force closing, (bulk) opening are way harder to figure out. #lightning #Bitcoin #bookkeeping

lightning is a hot wallet. hardware wallets try to be as cold as possible. I guess there are tradeoffs that could be made, using watchtowers etc, but to me ln is what I use for every day transactions, and my hardware wallet is that guards my savings.

if there is one thing that lightning is not great at, it's cold storage

I meant root server as in contrary to vps. of you have exclusive hardware, you have a shot at real privacy.

admittedly I didn't know that, but it just changes the name of the entity that has full access to ones system. you should offer support to run this stack on a fully encrypted root server.

some of the protocols don't require trusted servers, but the picture you paint as the user locking you out is simply not true. I believe you offer a good service, but if users choose you under the impression of having sole access to the server/ram/disk/... it's just wrong, and that's what you are saying.

sure, just run bitcoind on another system/line....
alternatively I used the wrong word here 😅 meant to talk about consumer grade dsl lines with changing IP addresses etc, which is very common where I internet.

vps offer hardly any secrets from the provider. the ram is dumpable, the diskspace can be cloned on the press of a button, and network traffic is 100% visible (okay, tls here, but keys are known to hoster)
I'm all for self hosting, and a vps is a great start, but I can hardly imagine how you want to deliver on your promises. #opsec

what could possibly go wrong 🤣
even better: don't subscribe. 2nd best: unsubscribe

running 170-250 channels on my CLN since years. I tend to it twice a year, reopen channels, update CLN etc.
I run a reverse proxy on my dial up connection at home, dyndns does exist.
the earnings a meager, but I honestly never calculated then. between FC and regular on chain fees.
but I can understand if people throw the towel. but then, we are still early in the game, things should get easier - and this is already happening.

screen recordings sound pointless to me. either it builds reproducible or it doesn't. videos change nothing, videos proof nothing. ASCII replays proof even less 😅

just watched the presentation... lopp says there are gatekeepers, specifically those who manage IP addresses and domain registrars. I guess this can be argued, but this leaves hardly any decentralized system left. certainly Bitcoin core asks me what IP to bind to, and somehow fetches a list of IPs to connect to, too.
I manage and managed email infrastructure for many companies, certainly not the amount of daily emails lopp claims, but still a broad spectrum of different servers and plenty of traffic. i have never experienced emails being accepted and discarded on purpose by any mail system. the fast majority of mail that won't make it into the recipients inbox is usually blocked before even the body of the mail is transmitted or even the recipient was specified (DNSBL), thus leaving the matter to the sending email server. the consequences of false positives (legit mail being hell banned) would be grave, logs would show that the email in fact was delivered and it would be clear whom to blame for any legal consequences in most jurisdictions. I just googled those terms and also could not find anything about hell banning in smtp.
sure, the cost of running your own mail server is not zero, you need an IP and a domain and you need to invest some days from time to time to keep up with the development, configuring DKIM, which wasn't required before, but now many servers will reject unsigned messages etc., but that's just progress happening, it's not excluding anyone.
dynamically assigned IPs, unusually in dial-up scenarios are a real problem, I will admit that. but for me that's all that sticks from this presentation.
